My daughter graduated from the University of Georgia last week, and I can’t think of any better reason to miss out on writing a column than watching her graduate. Her and about 4,000 other students, that is.

And while I shared the graduation on Facebook, something I rarely, if ever, do, I thought I would take a little bit of your time to tell you about it, too.

For those of you with children still in college, all I can say is, don’t fret it.

There really isn’t much you can do about what they’re doing at night, what they’re eating, what kind of grades they’re getting, etc., etc., etc.

And for those of you with college students still struggling with what they want to major in, don’t fret it.

Emily, that’s my daughter, first wanted to work with either the World Health Organization or Doctors Without Borders, so she was going to study international politics.

Then she thought she would like to be a physician’s assistant.

And then she decided she wanted to be a doctor, so she declared pre-med at the beginning of her senior year.

It took her nearly her entire undergraduate career to decide on a career, and while I thought the idea of being a physician’s assistant was much better strictly from a headache, health insurance standpoint, there really wasn’t much for me to do but sit back and offer support.

As for what they’re out doing at night after they’ve put the books down. I, and most likely you, probably don’t want to know.

She made it through college without so much as a speeding ticket.

Scratch that.

She actually did get a speeding ticket on the way down to Florida to see a Georgia/Florida football game.

As for her eating habits, she’s about 5-foot-5 and weighs about 100 pounds soaking wet, so she doesn’t eat a whole lot to begin with.

I might have actually encouraged a little junk-food binging at some point just to put a little meat on her bones.

I couldn’t be happier with her grades, though.

She graduated cum laude.

But to proudly point out a little bit about her character, she didn’t stand when they called out for those who had done the same to do so, because they only gave her one set of tassels for honors and she thought it wouldn’t be right for her to stand without both.

But she did point out that other students, no names please, also received the same Bachelor of Science as her, even though their classes weren’t nearly as tough as hers.

So you know what I told her?

Don’t fret it.

With the primary election coming up tomorrow, I’m sure there are more than a few of you who might be wondering why I’m taking up this prime real estate to talk about how proud I am of my daughter.

I pointed it out a couple of weeks ago, and I’ll take the opportunity to do so again.

The reason I’m not all up in arms and squawking about property tax reform this close to the election is because there’s only one state legislative race in all of Montgomery County that’s contested, which is in the 146th District.

So if you happen to live in the 146th, make sure you get out to vote.

And if you live in the 13th Congressional District, make sure you get out to vote, too.

Those two races, and the race for governor, are the only contest races I can find on the ballot. I may have missed one somewhere, but I know the majority of Montgomery County is going to the polls without much of an option for electing someone other than the incumbent or a challenger, both of whom will move on to the general election in November.

And if that chaps your hide like it does mine, make sure you vote, and make sure you give your party leaders a piece of your mind.

For the rest of you.

Don’t fret it.
